I was out in the shop hand-sanding a knife and Ollie saw me bending over stretching my back and asked what was wrong, I told him my back was hurting so he rubbed my back while I finished up for the evening.

That's the trouble.

Money or memories.


Memories for me.

I have my first grandson who will be two late June. A character that leaves with about a half dozen "bye bye Grandpa(s) when we depart. Our granddaughter, the first girl for us, nearing seven months is just a doll. Having three sons I struggled for years with "is it a boy or a girl"? Pretty apparent, he's Fred Flintstone, she's Pebbles. Had to learn that changing a diaper mattered...
I have two - one 14 y/o and one 18y/o. Yeah, excluding granddaughters, they are the very best Blessings a man could ask for!

Campfire picture of the year right there!

Rick should put that on the front page.
Great story my man!

I don't have a grandson yet, but I do have a 12 year old grand daughter that I would not trade for all the diamonds and pearls.

We have a very cool relationship. She picks on me mercilessly and is whip smart about it. Wears my damn T-shirts all the time and eats steak like a bull rider.

If I do not find green skittles and jolly ranchers in my casket when I die, I will know she died before me.

There is not a bag of candy that comes through my house that she does not pick all the "green" candy out and set aside for me because she knows it's my favorite.

Just can't get here to watch hunting videos with me. She LOVES animals. That is why I need a stone cold killer grandson next.

My two granddaughters are my reward for not strangling my two kids.
Posted By: Mohall57 Re: grandsons are the best - 04/18/24
We are all justifieably proud of our descendants, I have a grandson who flies Apache helicopters for Texas air guard and another that’s special forces medic, served 3 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition two granddaughters that are nurses. What grieves me though is the world we are leaving for them, over 33 trillion on debt and a largely disfunctionsl federal gov’t, largely created on my watch. Sad commentary, for my generation, 85 years old.
